Rincon is clattered into by Khedira, and Torino are presented with one final opportunity to launch the ball into the hosts' box. It's fired in by Berenguer and almost finds De Luca, but Matuidi is there to nod the cross behind.
90' +2
Torino come back once again as they continue enjoying a decent spell of late possession, but Rincon's eventual shot from 25 yards out is woefully hit and sails nearer to the corner flag than the goal. That pretty much sums up their evening.
90' +1
Molinaro battles hard down the left wing as he tries to set up a team-mate inside the Juventus penalty area. Neither of us his crosses are able to pick out anyone, however, as they're comfortably defended by the home side.

88'
It's all Juventus at the moment as they comfortably hold onto possession inside the Torino half of the pitch. Unsurprisingly, they don't seem in too much of a hurry to push forward, as all they want to do is keep the ball as far away from their opponents at they try to run down the clock.
86'
Falque, who has barely had a sniff on goal tonight, does really well to dance his way through a sea of Juventus defenders on his way into the penalty area. He then looks to shoot, but Chiellini is just about able to poke the ball away from the Spaniard before he's able to do so.
84'
First chance for Higuain! After dealing with the Torino corner, Juventus quickly push forward through Higuain over on the left flank. The Argentine barges his way into the box and shoots, but his low effort is well saved by Milinkovic-Savic at the near post.
83'
Torino immediately go on the front foot from the restart and manage to win themselves a corner over on the left wing. It's swung in by Berenguer and almmost picks out De Luca, but Chiellini is there to beat the youngster to the ball before being fouled from behind.

Description
80'
Dybala is sandwiched between Berenguer and Burdisso, sending him crashing to the ground and resulting in a free-kick for the hosts in a promising position. Pjanic's cross should be comfortably dealt with by Milinkovic-Savic, but the goalkeeper fumbles the ball out to Lichtsteiner, who then sends his quick effort on goal over the top of the crossbar.
78'
G. Higuaín enters the game and replaces M. Mandžukić.
Mandzukic receives a rousing round of applause from the Juventus fans as he's replaced by Gonzalo Higuain.
77'
Vital touch by Molinaro! Now it's Matuidi who goes close to testing Milinkovic-Savic from the edge of the penalty area, but this time it's Molinaro who throws his body in the way to deny the home side another goal.
76'
Almost a chance for Mandzukic to make it 3-0! The Croatian does really well to shake off his marker and looks set to receive the ball on the edge of the box, but just as he's about to shoot, Lorenzo Di Silvestri sticks out a foot to dispossess the striker.
74'
Juventus are put under pressure deep inside their own half of the pitch as Torino desperately try to win the ball back, but the home side remain incredibly calm and are able to play their way out of trouble before pushing forward on another determined attacking move.
72'
Juventus work the ball around nicely as they try to put the game to bed with a third goal. Asamoah eventually swings a curling cross into the middle of the box, where N'Koulou gets the better of Mandzukic and heads the ball out for a throw-in.
70'
N. Burdisso gets yellow.
Ouch! Torino are clearly feeling frustrated at being 2-0 down in controversial circumstances, and Burdisso takes his anger out on Dybala by barging straight into the Argentine as he tries to dart forward.
68'
After receiving an earful from the Torino players, the referee decides to go to the VAR to have a closer look at the Acquah incident. He doesn't see anything wrong with the tackle, however, and confirms that the goal will stand, much to the annoyance of Sinisa Mihajlovic.
67'
M. Mandžukić has scored a goal for Juventus!
GOAL! Mandzukic has doubled Juventus' lead! Acquah looks to be fouled over on the left flank, but the referee allows play to go on and the home side quickly hit their opponents on a swift counter-attack. All of the Torino players seem to stop after not being awarded the free-kick, allowing Mandzukic to skip into the box with ease before chipping a shot over the onrushing Milinkovic-Savic.
66'
Asamoah is the latest Juventus player to dart into a promising position over on the left before firing a cross into the visitors' penalty area, but this time it's Mandzukic who can't quite latch onto the ball ahead of goal, allowing it to bounce over to the opposite flank.
64'
Khedira makes a quick run into the Torino box as he tries to latch onto a low Dybala cross at the near post, but he isn't quite able to do so and the ball ends up bouncing into the hands of Milinkovic-Savic.
62'
Torino are seeing more of the ball now and they're managing to find some space inside the Juventus half of the pitch, but they're struggling to do much with their possession. Afriyie Acquah is the latest player to try and pick out a team-mate with a hopeful cross, but it's poorly hit and easily dealt with by Szczesny.
60'
S. Khedira enters the game and replaces C. Marchisio.
Juventus have made their second alteration of the night, with Sami Khedira coming on to replace Marchisio.
59'
Matuidi goes inches away from doubling Juventus' lead! Dybala makes a clever run into the right-hand side of the Torino box before latching onto a lovely pass from Costa. He then quickly cuts the ball back to Matuidi, who shoots from close range but sends his poked effort just wide of the near post.
57'
A mistake from Marchisio gifts possession to Torino and allows the visitors to counter-attack quickly. Molinaro darts down the left wing before sending a looping cross over towards Baselli, who rises high but can't get the better of Asamoah at the far post.
55'
Baselli is barged to the ground from behind by Matuidi, resulting in a free-kick for Torino in a promising position. The cross into the penalty area is totally overhit, however, and Szczesny is easily able to collect the ball without any problems.
53'
Another huge opportunity for Mandzukic! Once agin, a brilliant cross is fired into the visitors' penalty area and towards Mandzukic. The Croatian looks certain to tap the ball into the back of the net from close range, but somehow he ends up missing the ball completely before clattering into Milinkovic-Savic. He really should have buried that!
51'
Niang, who has arguably been Torino's best player inside the Juventus half of the pitch, twists and turns over on the left wing as he tries to dance his way into the box. He's unable to find a way past Marchisio, though, as the midfielder easily comes out on top with a well-timed tackle.
49'
The set-piece is swung towards the near post and picks out Chiellini, who then wins his side another corner with a deflected header effort from close range. The second is also sent towards the centre-back, but, once again, Torino are able to deal with the danger.
48'
Excellent chance for Mandzukic! Lichtsteiner is immediately brought into the game as he curls a beautiful cross into the heart of the Torino box. Mandzukic rises high and looks set to make it 2-0, but N'Koulou is just about able to get ahead of the striker and nod the ball behind for a corner.
46'
S. Lichtsteiner enters the game and replaces S. Sturaro.
Juventus had made one substitution during the half-time break, with Sturaro, who seemed to be struggling with an injury for part of the first period, making way for Stephan Lichtsteiner.
We're underway once again!
45'
Both Daniele Rugani and Matuidi go close to scoring! The resulting corner is swung into the middle of the penalty area and looks set to pick out Rugani, but it flies just over the top of the centre-back's head before missing the outstretched leg of Matuidi at the far post.
44'
Once again, Torino are caught out over on the right flank, allowing Dybala to hit them on a swift counter-attack. He does well to comfortably skip past Molinaro before unleashing a curling shot with his left foot, but it's sent just wide of the goal by a slight deflection.
43'
Juventus are guilty of being slightly careless on the ball inside their own half of the pitch, allowing Iago Falque to pick up possession for the visitors in a dangerous position. He then sets up Baselli to power forward and shoot, but the midfielder's effort is poor and deflects straight to Szczesny.
42'
Space opens up for Costa out wide, allowing the Brazilian to burst down the wing before cutting inside and working the ball over to Marchisio. The midfielder then swings a cross into the heart of the box, but it can only find the hands of Milinkovic-Savic.
40'
Kwadwo Asamoah fires in a cross from out wide after patient build-up play from the home side, but Burdisso is there to knock the ball behind for a corner. It's sent short and worked over to Costa, who sends a cross towards Chiellini but can't quite pick out the defender at the far post.
38'
The pace of the game has slowed down somewhat, with Juventus no longer piling every available body forward and instead showing a bit more caution. They're still comfortably controlling the game, though, and they look set to head into the half-time break with at least a one-goal lead.
36'
Really good play by Costa midway inside the Torino half of the pitch sets up Mandzukic to swing in a cross from deep down the left flank, but he can't quite guide his pass into the feet of a team-mate and the visitors are able to hold on.
34'
Torino patiently work their way down the left wing as they try to carve out a chance on goal. Niang initially does well as he makes a nuisance of himself just outside of the penalty area, but he eventually ends up giving away a free-kick for a push on Chiellini as they battle for the ball.
32'
Dybala is clattered into on the halfway line, and Juventus are awarded a free-kick. It's quickly thumped up towards Mandzukic on the edge of the Torino box, but it's slightly overhit and fails to find the striker before bouncing into the hands of Milinkovic-Savic.
30'
Torino try to push out of their own half of the pitch and on a rare attacking move, but they're unable to do so and it's quickly brought to an end. A lofted pass is then fired over the visitors' back line and towards Costa, who latches onto the ball and rounds Milinkovic-Savic before being correctly flagged offside before he can make it 2-0.
28'
Vital block by N'Koulou! Costa is easily able to skip past Cristian Molinaro after latching onto a cross-field pass, and he then cuts the ball back to Dybala on the edge of the box. The forward immediately unleashes a rocket of a shot that looks set to test Milinkovic-Savic, but N'Koulou is there to throw his body in the way of the strike.
26'
After enjoying a few decent moments on the counter-attack, Torino find themselves firmly on the back foot once again as they try to deal with their determined rivals. Juventus are domianting posession as they desperately try to find the back of the net for a second time.
24'
Tomas Rincon, who is playing against his parent club this evening, loses out to Pjanic and allows the Bosnian to quickly dart down the left wing. The Juventus midfielder then curls a cross into the box and towards Mandzukic, but it's slightly overhit and can only find the hands of Milinkovic-Savic.
22'
Almost a great chance for Juventus! Giorgio Chiellini embarks on a marauding run as he charges deep into the visitors' half of the pitch. He then sets up Sturaro with a clever pass over to the right channel, but the full-back can't quite find Mandzukic in front of goal with his side-footed cross that fizzes just wide of the far post.
20'
Dybala goes down on the edge of the box, but nothing is given! A lofted pass is launched up towards the Torino penalty area and picks out Mandzukic, who quickly nods the ball down to Dybala. The Argentine looks to have got the better of Nicolas Burdisso before going down and screaming for a free-kick, but the referee isn't at all interested and waves play on.
18'
M'Baye Niang hits the post! After dealing with another attempted Juventus attack, Milinkovic-Savic fires a lofted pass over the Juventus back line and into the path of Niang. The forward sprints into the box and manages to get a shot away, and it's one that clips the outside of the far post after beating Wojciech Szczesny.
16'
Dybala almost makes it 2-0! Space opens up for the Argentine after Torino completely fall asleep at the restart. He bursts down the left wing and towards the edge of the penalty area, where he shoots and sends a thumping effort over the top of the crossbar.
15'
Douglas Costa has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by P. Dybala.
GOAL! What a strike by Costa! Dybala makes a nuisance of himself on the edge of the Torino box and forces Daniele Baselli into firing an attempted clearance off the Argentine and over to Costa. The Brazilian then unleashes an absolutely wonderful half-volley, and it's one that flies straight into the top right-hand corner of the net to give Ju
Dybala didn't know much about that assist, as the ball flew off his leg and straight to Costa. Torino have had their backs against the wall for most of the opening 15 minutes, and it certainly felt as if a goal was coming.
14'
Almost an opportunity for Mandzukic! Paulo Dybala picks up the ball midway inside the Torino half of the pitch and quickly sends a beautiful through-ball into the path of Mandzukic. The Croatian looks set to go one-on-one with Milinkovic-Savic, but the young goalkeeper immediately rushes out to deal with the danger.
13'
A determined attacking move from the home side results in a free-kick in a promising position over on the left wing. It's whipped in by Pjanic and finds the head of Sturaro, but the latter can't test Milinkovic-Savic and has his looping effort easily stopped by the goalkeeper.
11'
Huge chance for Berenguer! A terrible attempted headed clearance from Sturaro allows the ball to bounce straight to Berenguer after it's missed by the makeshift full-back. The Spaniard quickly gets a shot away from the edge of the penalty area, but it's poorly hit and rolls comfortably wide of the far post.
9'
Sturaro breaks down the right wing and gets himself into a good position out wide. He cuts onto his left foot and swings a cross over to Matuidi, who manages to bring the ball down and fizz a pass across the face of goal that is just about dealt with by Nicolas N'Koulou.
7'
Chance for Miralem Pjanic! Juventus come back once again as they continue to enjoy a fast and furious start to the game. Costa and Blaise Matuidi link up well on the edge of the box before the Frenchman pokes a pass back to Pjanic, who quickly shoots but sends his shot straight into the hands of Milinkovic-Savic in the middle of the goal.
5'
Douglas Costa pokes a pass down the left flank and manages to pick out Mario Mandzukic in plenty of space deep down the wing. The striker then chips a cross into the penalty area and towards a team-mate, but the ball is easily collected by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
3'
After a slightly scrappy start to the game from both sides, it's Juventus who push forward on the first attack of the night. Stefano Sturaro picks up the ball over on the right wing but is far too slow in possession, allowing Alex Berenguer to dispossess him before the Spaniard wins a free-kick for the visitors.

We're off! Juventus get us underway, attacking from right to left.
Good evening and welcome to our live text commentary of today’s Coppa Italia quarter-final between Juventus and Torino at the Allianz Stadium.
The Derby della Mole always provides plenty of entertainment, and that looks set to be the case tonight as two old foes battle for a place in the semi-finals of Italy’s premier cup competition. With 12 trophies to their name - including all of the previous three - Juventus are the Coppa Italia’s most successful club, and they’ll be aiming to continue that great run of form with another victory here this evening.
Only Napoli have managed to beat Juventus in their last 13 Coppa Italia games, and even then they weren’t able to fully get the better of the Bianconeri due to a 3-1 first-leg win that sent Massimiliano Allegri's men through to last year’s final. It’s now almost five years since the reigning champions were last knocked out of the competition, and they currently find themselves on a four-game winning run after Saturday’s 3-1 league victory against Hellas Verona.
After starting the season well, Torino have struggled somewhat in recent weeks and head into tonight’s big clash with just one win from their last eight Serie A games. They’ll be aiming to bounce back from a series of slightly underwhelming results with a morale-boosting victory against their local rivals, but with several of their star players missing through injury, that looks as if it’s going to be a huge ask for Il Toro.
Torino will certainly be hoping to avoid a repeat of the last meeting between the two sides back in September. Juventus comfortably thumped their opponents 4-0 on this very ground, and it’s now over two and a half years since Torino last beat their rivals. They impressed in their win against Roma in the previous round, however, showing that when they’re at their best, they can be an incredibly effective and dangerous outfit.
There’s just under 15 minutes left to go until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this evening…
Torino substitutes: Ichazo, Bonifazi, Valdifiori, Gustafson, De Luca, Obi, Moretti, Boye, Sirigu, Fiordaliso, Millico, Umar.
Massimiliano Allegri has decided to make six changes to the Juventus side that beat Verona on the weekend, with Stefano Sturaro, Daniele Rugani, Kwadwo Asamoah, Miralem Pjanic, Claudio Marchisio and Douglas Costa coming into the starting line-up to replace Stephan Lichtsteiner, Medhi Benatia, Alex Sandro, Sami Khedira, Rodrigo Bentancur and Gonzalo Higuain, respectively.
Meanwhile, Torino boss Sinisa Mihajlovic has made three alterations to the team that featured in their last outing, with Salvatore Sirigu, Mirko Valdifiori and Joel Obi making way for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Afriyie Acquah and Daniele Baselli.
The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 1-0 TORINO
Juventus have been in control for most of the game so far, but they'll arguably feel slightly frustrated that they only have a one-goal lead at the half-time break. They arguably should be two or three goals ahead after exhibiting some really impressive play inside the final third, but Torino have defended resolutely and, as a result, remain firmly in this game.
The two teams are making their way back out on to the pitch ahead of the start of the second half.
FULL-TIME: JUVENTUS 2-0 TORINO
It looked as if Juventus might be made to pay for some sloppy finishing when they went into the half-time break with just a one-goal lead, but they were eventually able to make it 2-0 through Mandzukic and, from then onwards, they were comfortably in control. The Croatian's goal was a controversial one, however, and Mihajlovic will no doubt have plenty to say about it in the post-match press conference.
Juventus' win means their excellent Coppa Italia unbeaten run goes on, and their semi-final opponents will be Atalanta over two legs. No team has ever won the Coppa Italia four times in a row, but the Bianconeri certainly have a good chance of doing so after impressing so much so far.
